why does air pressure decrease with increasing altitude?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:
The weight of the air above is smaller

Explanation:

As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases. The air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what people mean by “thin air”. Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.

A stomp rocket takes 3.1 seconds to reach its maximum height.

- What is its initial velocity? (Do not use units. If the answer is negative, please put a
negative sign in front of the answer.)

- What is its maximum height? (Do not use units. If the answer is negative, please put a
negative sign in front of the answer.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Ignoring air resistance the time to rise will equal the time to fall and initial velocity will be the same magnitude as final velocity just before impact.

v = at

v = 9.8(3.1)

v = 30.38

v = 30 m/s

max height can be found knowing the velocity is zero at the top of its flight.

v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0.00² - 30.38²) / (2(-9.8))

s =  47.089

s = 47 m

A stomp rocket takes 3.1 seconds to reach its maximum height then the initial velocity is given as v = 30 m/s and maximum height is 47.089 m.

What is Velocity?

Velocity is defined as rate of change of position with respect to time.

SI unit of velocity is m/sec. Velocity is a vector quantity.

Given that in the question time taken by rocket to reach maximum height is 3.1 sec. Ignoring air resistance the time to rise will equal the time to fall and initial velocity will be the same magnitude as final velocity just before impact.

v = at

v = 9.8(3.1)

v = 30.38

v = 30 m/s

Max height can be found knowing the velocity is zero at the top of its flight.

v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0.00² - 30.38²) / (2(-9.8))

s =  47.089

s = 47 m

So, the initial velocity is given as v = 30 m/s and maximum height is 47.089 m.

A solar collector for a hot water system absorbs solar radiation at the rate of 660 W/m^2
. Its collecting area is 3.8m^2 . Cold water at 15degrees enters the collector. What volume of
water per minute at an output temperature of 60 degrees can this collector deliver?

Answers

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy and specific heat capacity.

This collector can deliver "7.96 x 10⁻⁴ m³/min" of water at an output temperature of 60°C.

According to the law of conservation of energy:

Solar Energy = Energy Required to raise the temperature of the water

Solar Power = Energy Required to raise the temperature of the water

[tex]IA=\frac{mC\Delta T}{t}\\\\\frac{m}{t}=\frac{IA}{C\Delta}[/tex]

where,

[tex]\frac{m}{t}[/tex] = mass flow rate = ?

I = solar radiation = 660 W/m²

A = Area = 3.8 m²

ΔT = change in temperature = 60°C - 15°C = 45°C

C = specific heat capacity = 4200 J/kg.°C

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{m}{t}=\frac{(660\ W/m^2)(3.8\ m^2)}{(4200\ J/kg.^oC)(45^oC)}\\\\\frac{m}{t}=(0.0133\ kg/s)(\frac{60\ s}{1\ min})\\\\\frac{m}{t}=0.796\ kg/min[/tex]

Now, the volume flow rate will be:

[tex]\frac{V}{t}=\frac{(\frac{m}{t})}{(density\ of\ water)}=\frac{(0.796\ kg/min)}{(1000\ kg/m^3)}\\\\\frac{V}{t}=7.96\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^3/min[/tex]

Someone with a force of 900 N does not float in a freshwater pool. To prevent them from sinking, 20 N must be applied in an upward fashion. What is their volume and average density?

Answers

Explanation:

The buoyant force [tex]F_B[/tex] is defined as

[tex]F_B = \rho_wgV[/tex]

where [tex]\rho_w[/tex] is the density of the displaced fluid (freshwater), g is the acceleration due to gravity and V is the volume of the submerged object. In the case of freshwater, its density is [tex]997\:\text{kg/m}^3.[/tex] Since the buoyant force is 20 N, we can solve for the volume of the displaced fluid:

[tex]F_B = \rho_wgV \Rightarrow V = \dfrac{F_B}{\rho_wg}[/tex]

Plugging in the values, we get

[tex]V = \dfrac{20\:\text{N}}{(997\:\text{kg/m}^3)(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)}[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:= 2.05×10^{-3}\:\text{m}^3[/tex]

Recall that the weight of an object in terms of its density and volume is given by

[tex]W = \rho gV[/tex]

Using the value for the volume above, we can solve for the density of the object as follows:

[tex]\rho = \dfrac{W}{gV} = \dfrac{900\:\text{N}}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(2.05×10^{-3}\:\text{m}^3)}[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:= 44,798\:\text{kg/m}^3[/tex]

An empty cylindrical barrel is open at one end and rolls without slipping straight down a hill. The barrel has a mass of 15.0 kg, a radius of 0.400 m, and a length of 0.800 m. The mass of the end of the barrel equals a fourth of the mass of its side, and the thickness of the barrel is negligible. The acceleration due to gravity is =9.80 m/s2.
What is the translational speed f of the barrel at the bottom of the hill if released from rest at a height of 33.0 m above the bottom?

Answers

Hi there!

We can use work and energy to solve this problem.

We know that:

Ei = Ef

Ei = Potential energy = mgh

Ef = Rotational kinetic + Translational kinetic = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mv²

The barrel is comprised of a hollow cylinder and disk-shaped bottom, so:

I (hollow cylinder) = mr²

I (disk) = 1/2mr²

Calculate the moment of inertias of each.

Since the mass on the base is one-fourth of its side:

x = mass of side

x + x/4 = 15

4x + x = 60

5x = 60

x = 12 kg

end mass = 3 kg

Solve for each moment of inertia:

Side: (12)(0.4²) = 1.92 Kgm²

Bottom: 1/2(3)(0.4²) = 0.24 Kgm²

Side + bottom = 2.16 Kgm²

We can now solve:

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2(2.16)v²/r²

(15)(9.8)(33) = 1/2(15)v² + 1/2(13.5)v²

4851 = 14.25v²

v = 18.45 m/s

A tennis player strikes the tennis ball with an initial velocity of 44.7 m/s horizontally. The ball is initially 1.28 m above the ground and 12.9 m from the 0.914 m tall net. Does the tennis ball make it over the net?

Answers

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the total time taken for the ball to reach the net using the equation:

dₓ = vₓt

12.9 = 44.7t

12.9/44.7 = t = 0.289 s

Now, we can use the following equation to solve for displacement in the Y direction:

d = y₀ + vit + 1/2at²

There is no initial vertical velocity, so:

d = y₀ + 1/2at²

Plug in known values:

d = 1.28 + 1/2(-9.8)(0.289²)

d = 0.87m

Thus, since 0.87 m < 0.914 m, the tennis ball does NOT make it over the net.

what is photosynthesis​

Answers

Required Answer :-

: [tex] \implies[/tex] The Photosynthesis is the process of capturing light energy and transforming it into chemical energy. Green plants and several other organisms use light energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. In this process, oxygen is produced as a by-product

We also who how it's process occur

In plants and blue-green algae, the photosynthesis process takes place in chloroplasts. The chloroplast is present in all green parts of a plant – the leaves, green stems, sepals, and even in the flowers, in the form of green colour plastids. The chloroplast is found only in plant cells and is essential for photosynthesis reaction.

Photosynthesis Equation

Carbon dioxide and water are the two major factors involved in the photosynthesis reaction. It’s an endothermic reaction, and the products resulting from it are oxygen and glucose. The formula is:

6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2

However, some bacteria don’t produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. They are called anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria, and those who do it are called oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria.

Importance of Photosynthesis

The photosynthesis process is very important for the survival of living beings, and to continue the food chain. It also produces oxygen, which is required for breathing.

Photosynthetic Pigments

Four types of photosynthetic pigments are present in the leaves of the plants. They are:

Chlorophyll a

chlorophyll b

xanthophylls

Carotenoids

The Factors Affecting Photosynthesis

Various factors influence/affect the photosynthesis process. These are:

Light Intensity: More the light, the more will be the rate of photosynthesis. Similarly, low light will lead to a low rate of photosynthesis.

The Concentration of CO2: A higher CO2 concentration rate in a plant also accelerates the photosynthesis process. The required amount of CO2 is 300-400 PPM.

Temperature: If the temperature is between the range of 25 to 35 degrees Celsius, the photosynthesis takes place effectively.

Water: An essential amount of water is required for stomatal opening, and it’s a key factor in the process of photosynthesis.

Pollution: The increasing rate of polluting particles in the atmosphere block the pores of somatic cells, and the intake of carbon dioxide becomes difficult.

A 2.0 kg particle moving along the z-axis experiences the
force shown in (Figure 1). The particle's velocity is
3.0 m/s at x = 0 m.
A) At what point on the x axis does the particle have a turning point?

Answers

At point x = 0, the particle accelerates. Since there will be change of velocity at that point. The the force of the particle will change from negative sign to positive sign according to the given figure, we can therefore conclude that the particle will have a turning point at point x = 0.

Given that a 2.0 kg particle moving along the z-axis experiences the  force shown in a given figure.

Force is the product of mass and acceleration. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both the force and acceleration are vector quantities. They have both magnitude and direction.

If the particle's velocity is  3.0 m/s at x = 0 m, that mean that the particle experience change of velocity at point x = 0. Since the the force of the particle will change from negative sign to positive sign according to the given figure, we can therefore conclude that the particle will have a turning point at point x = 0.
